Today was a great day. I went through the script for The Grace Card and made some notes to share with David later on. Some dialog smoothing and just other random things that makes the scenes flow a bit better. I was really looking forward to sharing it later on…
I worked on the Grace Card website a little bit and not much else. Sunday I’m going to spend all day on the Standing Firm edit until the college group meets. I need a solid day to go through it and fix some things and just hit render. I hope I can get it in the mail beginning of next week if not a few days in. I need to depart with it. I’ll still need to work on it a lot even if it gets picked up because it needs a sound mix, a score, and I know they’ll be other small edit changes and such by whoever picks the film up in the end…but I need to take that first step. Any good distributor will know if it’s something they want right away, it doesn’t have to be done 100%. I’m hoping for good things, as I really want to have it distributed next spring/summer. God didn’t bring us this far to just stop here, I won’t believe that for a moment.
There is some news I got today that threw me for a loop, but I can’t share it until tomorrow when we make the official announcement. It’s really big. Lets just say this doesn’t happen to someone who is 21 and only on his second film ever…it just doesn’t. I’m incredibly humbled and felt queezy when I found out it was official and you’ll know why tomorrow.
Me and David sat down for the first time today as Directors and got to work. We ran from page 1 and started moving through the script. I went through my notes which David was right on board with and we made our changes. We’re going to work so well together, I know it. We’re like one head a lot of the time. Getting into the script is what I really love, and visualizing the scenes so they’re straight in my head. That gets me very excited. We have some excellent scenes in this film I can’t wait to do.
Overall the day was really good. I’m just overwhelmed with what God is doing…I can’t really articulate how I feel about all this going on. I’ll share more tomorrow, and it’s a big day. Lots to do!
